    Can I safely use this to heat my warehouse? The warehouse is 3600 sq feet with 18 foot ceiling. Has door and roll up doors but we try to keep them closed as much as possible in the winter.

                            Per the previous response. This heater will take K1, #2 diesel fuel (dyed diesel ) and if you didn’t know dyed diesel and on road diesel are exactly the same thing except the dye in dyed diesel and no road tax on dyed diesel. Kerosene & diesel will work

                                  We bought this heater to get us through the really cold weeks of Jan when our permanent heater couldn't keep up. It was great for the first 3 hours. We went to lunch, came back, turned it back on and error. Fan motor not working, and we got an error code. Found the issue immediately. Broken piece behind fan motor. See Image. This thing didn't even run through a full tank of fuel, and now it won't start. We're back to being cold. HD was zero help and doesn't have the part.

                                    The Dyna-Glo Delux 95K or 135K BTU Kerosene Forced Air Heater is very helpful during our cold winters. We have a shop with no heat and this setup with high ceilings keeps a concentrated area warm, not hot, unless you are really close to the heater which I don’t suggest. We do lose a lot of heat with wide open spaces but it definitely takes the chill out of the air. The noise level is ok and it’s fairly easy to setup. I strongly suggest watching a YouTube video to see step by step. Overall great unit.

                                    Great Heater
                                    It is cold and winter is here in Colorado, we are remodeling my main bathroom. I was too cold in the garage to work so I decided to get a forced air heater so we could keep working. I came across the Dyna-Glo Deluxe 95K or 135K BTU Kerosene Forced Air Heater in Gray and put in my order. A few days later the Heater arrived via Fed Ex. It was bigger and heavier than I expected. As we un-packed the Heater we found the User’s Manual and Operating Instructions. It has directions in 3 different Languages, 27 pages each language. It was much simpler than that. The axel to the wheels was a little difficult to find. We thought it was missing but eventually found it taped it to the back of an outer foam packaging material. It might be better to make it easier to find. The Heater holds 10 gallons. You can use several different types of fuel to run the heater. Kerosene, #1 a #2 Fuel Oil, # and #2 Diesel, Jet Fuel A and JP-8. Cost wise we went with #2 Diesel fuel although the manufacturer recommends Kerosene. It was $12 per gallon and not as easy to get as the #2 Diesel. After getting a new gas can to hold the diesel, we filled the heater up and turned it on. With the garage door opened about 3 feet at the bottom, it heated the air temperature in there about 10 degrees in about 10 minutes. This will work great for our remodeling of my bathroom since it was only 22 degrees outside. We are cutting tile and don’t need the water to freeze. You could use this heater in many different environments but be sure never to use it in a confined space or indoors with no air flow. I would be deadly. The Dyna-Glo Deluxe Heater has a 1-year limited warranty and will either provide replacement parts, repair the unit or replace it. I am completely satisfied with this Heater from Dyna-Glo and will highly recommend it to family, friends and neighbors.

                                    Super Heater. Variety of Fuels. Easy to Operate. Performs Well.
                                    Well packaged for safe shipping. Great instructions. Easy to assemble with only a few tools. Easy to operate. Slightly awkward fuel filling, typical of this type of heater. Hanging funnel over heater makes filling easier. Plenty of heat & fan forced blast, on the quite side. Selected to use in garage, barn workshop (w. plenty of fresh air ventilation) and outdoor repairs on snow plowing equipment. Burned pump diesel with clean low odor operation. Moving with main handle is a bit awkward, especially when heater is full of fuel, but is manageable. As with past Dyna-Glo products, satisfied & recommend this 95-135K heater.

                                    A great heater for my shop
                                    It is starting to get cold and I needed a better heating solution for working in the shop. This is a really good heater. It is easily filled, moves well, and it comes up to a comfortable temperature quickly. For assembling the heater, you need a phillips screwdriver, 3/4 wrench (if you use wrenches on both sides it tightens up quicker), and a 5/16 wrench. And it goes together quite easily.

                                    Blown away...literally.
                                    I have a 2000 sf unheated, uninsulated airplane hangar that I wanted to take the chill off. After quite a bit of research I settled on the Dyna-Glo. Could not be more pleased. With the Veteran's Discount offsetting NC's state tax it was $261 delivered to the house. Easy assembly and the manual that comes with it is not to be believed in terms of detail. I fired it up this morning with K-1 and it lit immediately. It sounds and smells like a small jet engine, but in a hangar that's 👍.

                                      HEAT! and FAST!
                                      I like to do woodworking in our garage, but in the winter it can get to 0 degrees sometimes in our unheated garage. it has insulation, but there are a lot of leaks around the large door and the 2 man doors, so it's kind of drafty. Last year I had to run two 40k BTU kerosene heaters for an hour before our garage got warm enough to work in. When I first tried this Dyna-Glo heater, it brought the temperature in our 28x28 garage up 15 degrees in 5 minutes! I couldn't believe the difference. I'll be using my garage a lot more this winter for sure. It has a 10 gallon tank and a fuel guage that seems to be very accurate. I only wanted to put a quarter tank in for now, so I was able to watch the fuel guage go up as I filled it and was able to stop it where I wanted to. Once you have fuel in, all you have to do is push the ON button and it starts up by itself. Nothing to light or anything. Then there is a switch on the back that allows you to choose between high or low settings. I figure once it gets warm enough, I'll just switch it to the low setting to save kerosene. It can also burn other types of oil like diesel as well. I didn't notice any kerosene odor when running it, but after I shut it off I did notice some. It could have been due to a little kerosene I spilled from the syphon I used when I took it out of the can, though. Most kerosene heaters do leave a smell, though, after you turn them off. It won't suffocate you probably unless you have an airtight building you're using it in maybe. I would not use it to heat the main house, though, unless if was just temporarily during a power outage. It was pretty easy to assemble. I frankly just looked at the illustrations in the manual and figured it out myself. The unit is pretty light and easy to move, but I'm sure it would be a little harder maybe if it was full. I only put a quarter tank in. Still it wouldn't be hard to move full either unless you were trying to lift it into a truck or something. The plug also has a reverse plug on it so while it's plugged in, you can plug something else into it as well. It's not real loud. It kind of makes a roar sound while it's on, and you could still talk loudly with someone and hear them ok, maybe have a tv on loud or radio, so it's not a big problem. Not as loud as I thought it might be for sure. So if you need a source of a lot of heat fast, this is your baby. Professional grade. I really recommend it!
